After dressing and washing, he came to the restaurant, and while eating, Zhu Yuan asked Freehand to fetch the two account books that were delivered yesterday.

I opened the first book first.

Fasting related.

Zhiyongzhai was opened on the third day of March at the beginning of the year, and Zhu Yuan was not in Jinling at the time, but he also remembered clearly, but on the first day, for various reasons, the income was as high as 16,000 taels of silver.

Lao Zhu was shocked at that time.

Moreover, because of the shortage of supply, Lao Zhu also helped and gave the right to sell charcoal to Zhiyongzhai, but it was not allowed to sell at too high a price.

Then, for most of the year, Zhiyongzhai not only added some other categories while mainly selling fountain pens and charcoal, such as the four treasures of the study, as well as the "Daming Monthly", but also expanded its business to other parts of Daming.

On the other hand, although there was no patent protection in this era, and various reproductions of fountain pens had appeared in various places, because everyone knew the background of "Zhiyongzhai", the business of their own family was still booming overall.

Then there's the general ledger.

According to the statistics of the account books at hand, from March to Layue, about ten months, the total revenue of various related businesses of Zhiyongzhai reached 376,000 taels of silver, which was an absolute miracle for a stationery business in this era.

What's even more miraculous is profit.

Excluding craftsman expenses, tax expenses, material expenses, and other related expenses, this part only consumed 65,000 taels in total. As a result, in less than a year, or even ten months, the overall net profit was as high as 311,000 taels.

Net profit margin was 82.7%.

In a few hundred years, let alone net profit, there are very few industries where gross profit can exceed 80%. Because, just taxes and fees, it is impossible to leave a gap of more than 80% of net profit.

The problem is that in those days, the proportion of commercial taxes was only 30 taxes.

Of course, Zhu Yuan also knows that the thirty taxes are just on the surface, and when the real business is done, the apportionment of various names is enough to make people ***, which is actually the same in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

Because of human nature.

However, because of Zhu Yuan, and most of the sales of Zhiyongzhai are in the capital, even if it is wholesaled to foreign merchants, after the silver and goods are delivered here, how do you transport them to the place, and how many passes you have to go through during the period, it is not something that Shangshanju needs to consider.

As a result, Shangshanju really enjoyed the imperial court's policy of 30 taxes and 1 light tax. Even, if Zhu Yuan is a little more black-hearted, he doesn't have to pay any thirty taxes.

We're a clan!

Just like Ouyang Lun, the concubine in the last years of Hongwu, the house slave smuggled tea to pass the customs, and the tax collector wanted to collect taxes, so he was beaten directly!

Dare to collect taxes from the princess's family, you want to go to heaven?

It's just unmasked.

didn't reveal it, is it the first time that the princess's family has done this?

Didn't the other royal family do this?

There are even many founding nobles, Tang He has to raise more than 200 concubines, what is the annual income of 1,500 stones, and he has to have some extra income?

Therefore, if Zhu Yuan wants to, the net profit margin of his own business can be increased by several points.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuan understands that this is not a long-term way.

Let's just say one, Lao Zhu was too good to the clan and enjoyed happiness for more than 200 years, but as a result, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the clan suffered repeated slaughters by the rebels from all walks of life and the Qing army that entered the customs, isn't this some kind of causal cycle?

The clan did not escape, did the noble gentry who also did not pay much tax escape?

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 10,000 people at a time.

Causal reincarnation.

No one can escape.

Therefore, seeing that his own tax expenditure on the account book was only a little more than 10,000 taels, even if he was the biggest beneficiary, Zhu Yuan was the first to feel inappropriate.

It can't be like this.

Moreover, Zhu Yuan is not one of those later generations who openly published newspapers and shouted "tax me", but in fact changed the law

The tax-avoiding Western capitalists, he knows very well, really can't be like this.

Involves "allocation".

If there is a serious imbalance in distribution, even if productivity can continue to increase, there will eventually be a limit, and when it reaches the limit, what will happen in the future has been demonstrated again and again by history.

What's more, there is still a chance.

The best opportunity to make decisions in advance.

Some things, even if it is only 30 years later, are even more difficult to move forward.

Therefore, Zhu Yuan still admires Yongzheng who was able to complete the reform of "paving the way into the mu", and in that era, it was a miracle to do this.

A voice came from his ears, interrupting Zhu Yuan's thinking.

The adult who wrote the opinion came back to his senses and whispered again, "My lord, let's eat first, it's going to be cold."

"Hmm......" Zhu Yuan nodded, and joked again, "I'm also obsessed with money."

Freehand smiled with it, but he knew that his adult was not a fan of money, and he had just seen the numbers in the account book, and there was not much joy in his expression, but he was worried, which made Freehand also a little worried.

Zhu Yuan didn't rush to turn over the second book of "Shangshanju" account book, thinking that the number would only be bigger, but concentrated on eating the bowl of porridge in front of him.

The adult who wrote the opinion did not continue to read, and while serving a cup of fried fish balls from the side, he talked about several things this morning, about the visit of Tu's father and son, about Fang Guozhen's post, and of course, the message from His Majesty the Emperor, and ...... Once again, the reward of 20 beautiful queens.

Zhu Yuan instructed the first two, if there is no accident, this afternoon, and at the same time, he reacted faster than freehand, and asked with a smile: "The two account books have also been sent to the palace?"

Freehand said: "Only those who have a good dwelling are sent, and the slaves let people ...... It was given to the Queen, and there are some books written by the sisters today."

The queen's mother did not approve of Zhu Yuan's attitude of not wanting to marry a wife, but she was quite satisfied with the freehand, and she had instructed before that women could have good books and stories, or other things, they could be passed into the palace.

[In view of the general environment,

"Hmm."

Zhu Yuan nodded, and didn't mind the careful thinking of the people around him, thinking that the business of Shangshanju was eye-catching enough, and Zhiyongzhai was completely his own, and if he could hide it, he wanted to hide it.

However, Zhu Yuan didn't want to hide.

It happened that Lao Zhu let him enter the palace later, so he hurriedly talked about it, and he didn't forget what he had said, and ordered: "The ancestor asked him to choose whatever he wanted, so go and choose 20 at will."

Addicted to femininity.

This character design is actually not bad.

Freehand agreed, and said again: "Also, the female martial artists that the adults ordered before, Zhao Xu also found a few, but do you want to take the time to take a look?"

"Let's see if I'm free this afternoon," Zhu Yuan said, "If not, tomorrow, don't be in a hurry."

Freehand then said some other things at home, Zhu Yuan had eaten, the time was close to his own, so he no longer rubbed, brought two account books, sat in a sedan chair directly in the inner house, and rushed to the imperial city.

When the sedan chair was calmer, Zhu Yuan opened the second book of accounts.

Compared with Zhiyongzhai, the glass business is really too big, so big that Lao Zhu sent someone over early in the morning to reward himself, after all, one or two glasses and one or two silver [Note 1], can it not be big?

……

……

Note 1: Today's data, only to find a big BUG: one or two glasses and one or two gold, which was seen in the original information, however, it is too exaggerated, ignoring the explosion of productivity under the official organization after mastering the fundamental principle, just say that even if 100,000 catties of glass a year, according to the past, it is actually equivalent to more than 10 million taels of silver. Speaking of which, it happened to be around the time of the Chinese New Year when I wrote that episode, and everyone knew what was going on, and it was a blur. Readers may have found out, but, when I first opened the book, I was rushed to a mental breakdown, and I didn't dare to read the book review, and later I learned that it was possible to set up a fan value guardrail, but I didn't understand anything at the time when I hadn't opened the book for too long.

It's out of touch with the industry, and it's too late to know. A few days ago, after the review, I flipped through the previous chapter review.,I wanted to sort it out.,I saw a message saying "I finally found a book with no fan restrictions.,And then a series of trash talk.,I didn't want to sort it out anymore at the time.,That's it.。 Let's talk about the current BUG, this chapter deliberately stopped here, changed to "one or two glasses and one silver tael", which is normal. Anyway, I'm sorry. In addition, the previous chapters were deliberately revised in the morning, so there will be no inconsistencies. The book ...... Too many regrets. Too much, too much.
